Book Review: Colin Lark’s What the F@ck Happened Last Night

To say that I’m an avid reader would be a gross overstatement. However, when I find a book that I like, I’ll read it cover to cover as quickly as I can. Colin Lark’s What the F@ck Happened Last Night was unfortunately not one of those books. As excited as I was to read this book, I had a hard time motivating myself to start the next “story” after finishing the previous. I’m not at all saying that the stories were bad or not funny, I’m sure they were all great, if you were there in person and shitfaced. But I wasn’t there in person, and I wasn’t shitfaced when reading the book… when I tried drinking and reading the book, I quickly lost focus and found myself reading a SkyMall Magazine.

I will admit that there were a couple times that I found myself chuckling at antics that were being described in the book, specifically the Shit Grenade story. I think I found this story funny because I could relate to it… I went to a college that was on the beach so I was able to put myself into the story and that made the story so much better. If all of the stories where written a bit differently to give the reader a better sense of the scene, and make the reader feel like they where actually there, I think the book would be a much easier read, and probably a lot funnier too. That was the beauty of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max. He did a great job with all the little details and the stories made you feel like you were there with him.

All in all, the book was okay. I’d give it 2.5 out of 5 on our beer bottle rating system. Maybe even bump it up to 3 out of 5 since I got a free copy. Despite the low rating, I think the book actually has A LOT of potential if rewritten with more detail. I’m curious to hear what other readers think. If you haven’t read the book, or bought the book yet, Colin was nice enough to share a few of the stories on his website, you can read them here. If you’re a current college student, I’d say, go ahead and pick up a copy of What the Fuck Happened Last Night.
